Push the Boundaries Professional riders demand a lot from their cycling kit and in particular their bib shorts, spending hours upon hours on the saddle, facing wildly varying weather, challenging climbs and heart-racing descents plus the lung-bursting efforts of racing for the win. And it's these demands that the Equipe RS Bib Shorts S9 have been engineered to deal with. With no corners cut, they'll leave you experiencing the most exemplary levels of comfort and muscle support. A-Lock Engineering As the name suggests, the A-Lock Engineering design is about creating shorts that 'lock into place', with the seat insert held exactly where it's needed in order to deliver unrivalled on-the-saddle comfort. It begins with the Type.441 textile. With exceptional compression qualities and silk-like feel, it provides superb stability and comfort to the shorts. Furthermore, it offers excellent moisture management, is anti-odour and is durable too. All yielding excellent cycling performance. Float like a Butterfly The next component of the A-Lock engineering system is the design and construction of the short panels. Previous Assos shorts have used four panels. The S9 uses just two. This gives a reduction in weight and fewer seams, boosting long-ride comfort. The two panels are shaped into Assos' unique 'butterfly' panel design. This hugs your legs and lower back snugly while also maintaining superb flexibility. This holds the insert securely in place for an incredible feeling of support and comfort no matter how intense your efforts. rollBar Bib Design Supporting the lower shorts section is Assos' rollBar bib strap system. Acting like a car's anti-sway bar, the rollBar bibs stabilise and secure the seat insert in place. The straps are attached across the same seam as the insert, maintaining the perfect degree of tension as you transfer weight. So whether on the saddle or jumping out of the saddle to sprint, the seat pad remains perfectly placed. The bib straps are a combination of highly elastic materials and a single piece in the back forming an A-frame that perfectly supports the shorts. In the front, the straps are made of a more flexible material, with an antibacterial carbon weave, to wick moisture and lay flat - the result is extremely lightweight straps you will barely notice. S9 Multi-Layer Seat Insert The heart of the shorts is the multi-layered S9 seat insert. Next to the skin you'll experience the soothing comfort of an incredibly soft antibacterial microfiber. KraterCooler ventilation holes at the front of the pad prevent excess sweat from hanging around to cause discomfort. A 3D-shaped 3-layer perforated waffle foam is the next layer to provide comfort. Reducing weight and bulk but easing pressure, it's ready for a tough day on the saddle. Then comes the superAir microShock foam core. It offers a combination of shock-absorption and memory return, adding comfort over all road surfaces and re-adapting to your body position every time you shift weight. It's a pad designed for the rigours of the World Tour so you get the very best comfort possible. Conclusion Assos have once again pushed the boundaries of what defines high-performance cycling bib shorts. Fabric, construction and fit are all carefully refined and engineered for on-the-bike comfort. Their finest fitting and most comfortable bib shorts to date, letting you push your performance beyond your expectations.
Assos Equipe RS Bib Shorts S9The Assos Equipe RS Bib Shorts S9 push technical performance and race-bred comfort to a new level. Going back to the drawing board Assos designers have paid attention to every detail to create the finest racing shorts possible.Developed with Pros. Ridden by You.Having entered back into the milieu of the Pro Tour Peloton, Assos have made full use of the knowledge and feedback from pro riders. With a Grand Tour or Classic taking in all weathers, varying road surfaces, steep climbs, manic descents and sprints a lot is demanded of a pair of shorts. This has pushed the engineering team to create innovative solutions focused on delivering the finest fit, comfort and support for the demanding cyclist. The final result is the Equipe RS Bib Shorts S9 with A-Lock engineering. A-Lock EngineeringAt the heart of this bib short is a new Assos concept, A-Lock Engineering. Using a combination of new construction methods and materials, Assos' engineers have managed to create a short where the seat insert remains in the perfect position at all times. They start with Type.441 textile, a silky smooth fabric which boasts incredible moisture management, anti-odour and long term durability - all-in-all, a perfect cycling fabric. This new fabric is then carefully tailored using a brand new panel design to create an incredibly stable platform for the seat insert. Where their S7 shorts use four panels, the S9s reduce this to just two, lessening bulk, reducing seams and hence increasing comfort. The two panels form a unique 'butterfly' shape, wrapping around the legs snugly to form what Assos have named their ergoBox structure. It is this which keeps the seat insert perfectly positioned, whether you're in the saddle, out of the saddle, sprinting or climbing. rollBar Bib DesignAssos have also completely redesigned the bib straps on the S9. Just like an anti-sway bar on a car, the new rollBar design provides stability. The straps pass over the rear of the shorts and attach directly into the same seam as the seat insert, maintaining the perfect degree of tension as you transfer weight in and out of the saddle. The bib straps themselves are made with highly elastic materials, a single Y-frame piece in the back creating the ideal level of support for the shorts while exerting minimal pressure. Meanwhile, the front of the shorts use an antibacterial carbon weave, wicking away moisture incredibly quickly for intense comfort. These are bib shorts you'll barely realise are there. S9 InsertAt the heart of the S9 Shorts is the S9 insert, taking race-focused comfort to a whole new level. Assos use an incredibly soft antibacterial microfiber next to the skin and when combined with the kraterCooler ventilation holes at the front of the pad you're guaranteed all-day freshness. Next comes a 3D three-layer perforated waffle foam which both boosts breathability and reduces weight and bulk. Lastly, the superAir microShock foam core offers incredible shock absorption and memory return, it re-adapts to your body position every time you shift weight, leading to unrivalled support when in and out of the saddle. A pad designed for the rigours of the World Tour so you get the very best comfort possible. Assos have once again pushed what is possible with performance cycling equipment. With incredible attention to every detail, every seam and fabric engineering, the Equipe RS Bib Shorts S9 will allow you to ride further and faster than ever, pushing performance to new heights.

Come spring and autumn, temperatures may not be as extreme as the depths of winter, but a short sleeve jersey, arm warmers, and gilet may not cut it when it comes to comfort and warmth. The Equipe RS Spring Fall Jacket is there to fill the gap in those hard to dress for transitional months. Made from Push-Pull exterior and more insulating Rhombus on the inside, the twinDeck construction offers an incredible combination of insulation and breathability. This is then complemented by Assos' unique and exclusive Diffusor 'air-valve' system on the shoulders - these vents draw in cooling air to circulate between the two layers, preventing overheating and regulating body temperature. When you're on the limit, there's now no need to unzip to cool the body and you can remain low and aero - perfect for racing. The Equipe RS Spring/Fall collection is designed to allow riders to train harder (higher HR and watts) at lower temperatures while maintaining that perfect micro-climate - not too clammy, not too cold, not too hot. Assos aeroFit As you'd expect of a cycling jacket with race-ready credentials, the Assos aeroFit delivers a very close to the body, compressive fit to ensure reduced excess drag and no wasted energy when you're in the pace-line. The sleeves are made with Assos' SONIC fabric, a lightly brushed insulating fabric that perfectly moulds to the arms and features ribbed detailing to improve aerodynamics. Raw cut edges ensure a low profile fit with gloves and maintains the aerodynamics of the body. Whether it's testing fitness in fast and furious early season races or slow and steady autumn training, whatever your ride you'll remain perfectly comfortable when you pull on the Equipe RS Spring Fall Jacket during the transitional seasons of the year.
